60 seconds with Minuteman Press Bristol

Minuteman Press Bristol was founded in 1998 and purchased by director Peter Wise in 2006, who was attracted by the combination of skilled graphic design, print production and bindery all under one roof.

“Having been a print buyer for many years, coordinating multiple large-capacity practitioners was frustrating and frequently unsatisfactory; the Minuteman Press Bristol setup appeared the ideal solution.”
